Jack Mullen is a driven student of the law. His brother Peter is a
servant of the rich, parking the cars of the Hamptons' elite-and
perhaps satisfying their more intimate needs as well. Then Peter's
body is found on the beach. Jack knows the drowning was no
accident, but someone's unlimited power and money have bought the
cops, the judges, the system. Now Jack is learning a lesson in
justice he never got in law school ... and his astonishing plan to
beat the billionaires will have you reeling-and cheering-to the
very last page.
Beating its biplane rivals in a 1936 Reich Air Ministry design
competition, the Arado Ar 196 provided the Kriegsmarine with
possibly the best shipborne reconnaissance seaplane of World War
II. Replacing the Heinkel He 60 biplane as the standard
catapult-launched floatplane embarked on the Kriegsmarine's capital
ships, the Ar 196 flew an assortment of combat missions during
World War II, including coastal patrol, submarine hunting, light
bombing, general reconnaissance and convoy escort sorties. The
first vessel to take its Ar 196A-1s to sea was the pocket
battleship Graf Spee, which embarked two in the autumn of 1939. The
battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz could carry six Arados each, the
battlecruisers Gneisenau and Scharnhorst four and smaller pocket
battleships and cruisers two. Shore-based aircraft were also
operated from coastal ports on the Channel, Baltic, North Sea and
Bay of Biscay coasts, as well as in the Balkans and Mediterranean.
In this title, supported by an excellent selection of photographs
and full-colour illustrations, Peter de Jong explores the history
of the Arado Ar 196, detailing their development and assessing the
combat capabilities of one of the last fighting seaplanes.
Former students of Dr H. J. Witteveen and many of those who
collaborated with him in the past decades have decided a while ago
that his great scientific and social merits are ample reason for
presenting him with a Liber Amicorum. The fortieth anniversary of
his appointment as professor at the Netherlands School of Economics
in Rotterdam in the Spring of 1988 seemed a suitable time for
presentation. For this purpose a committee was formed consisting of
the members listed below. The last three of these also act as
editorial committee of this anniversary volume. The topic the
editorial committee chose is 'The quest for national and global
economic stability'; this topic has always attracted Dr Witteveen's
special attention and is in fact the common theme of his
publications and speeches. In compiling this volume, the editorial
committee tried to give expression to the three fields in which Dr
Witt eve en developed his main activities: university, politics and
international economic organizations. The committee is deeply
grateful to the authors who promised and supplied their
contributions with great enthusiasm. All contributions were
completed before August 1, 1987.

a job that he despises, a marriage that has lost its passion,
children from whom he feels disconnected, and, at age fifty, a
sense that he has accomplished nothing of consequence with his
life. But on Christmas Day, he goes out to play a round of golf,
and for the first time, he finds himself in the 'zone'. He sees the
putting line that has eluded him for years. Always a fairly good
golfer, he finds himself playing like a pro and is so caught up in
his excitement that he continues to play, sinking putt after putt,
missing Christmas dinner with his wife and family. It is too much
for his already troubled marriage. His family collapses - but
Travis is soon too busy living his dream to notice. His amazing new
golf skills catapult him into the PGA Senior Open at Pebble Beach,
where he advances to the final round with two of his heroes, Jack
Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd. And with his wife, children, and a live
television audience watching, a miracle takes place on the 17th
green that will change Travis, and his family, forever.

Tom Dunleavy has a one-man law firm in East Hampton, summer home to
billionaires and Hollywood celebrities. But his clients are the
people he grew up with, the people who make a living serving the
rich. When an old friend, Dante Halleyville, is arrested for a
triple murder near a movie star's mansion, Tom agrees to represent
him, and recruits super lawyer, and ex-girlfriend, Kate Costello to
help fight the case. As Tom wonders if he can ever get Kate to
forgive him for his past sins, the case takes on astonishing
dimensions, revealing a world of illegal pleasures, revenge, and
fear amongst the super-rich...
A home health attendant appears at Homicide South in Manhattan, skeptically reporting the confession of a senior citizen struggling with Alzheimer's to NYPD Detective Darlene O'Hara. Gus Henderson, a former junkie and petty criminal, claims he murdered and buried his former partner-in-crime in a park off Avenue B more than a decade ago. The city agrees to excavate the alleged scene of the crime, and the police find a body--the skeleton of a ten-year-old boy.
Instead of an easy open-and-shut case, O'Hara is faced with finding the murderer of a child, and the pressure is on the newly promoted detective to prove herself. The trail takes O'Hara from the seediest corners of the city and its cast of misguided players to a retirement community in South Florida. Driving headlong into the dark urban underbelly, she must find a killer and stop the cycle before yet another child is lost to the depths of the city.
